Product ReviewsWashington's Spies : The Story of America's First Spy Ring by Alexander Rose (2007, Trade Paperback)

Excellent historical work

After watching the AMC series on TV it was great to see the real story. The TV version had numerous misrepresentations and totally fictional stories added for sensationalism.
Unfortunately the actual history is more compelling than the adaptations. After reading the book the Television version was very loosely based on the actual facts and people and places as well as the chronological time periods were presented poorly. The book along with others regarding the spies assisting Washington during the revolution are fantastic insights into the history of the great and dedicated men known as our founding fathers.Read full review...

This is a book of spying and intrigue. Roger's was a very brutal man but his tactics are still used today buy our own Rangers.

History, Intrigue and Thriller

The BOOK IS BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN. A TV series "Turn" was based on this book. If American history, intrigue, and thrillers are your cup of tea. Please enjoy

Spies in disguise

Who knew? I guess spies were invented long before the CIA. What a fascinating read, I highly recommend it.
